Double overdrive transmissions

Stick with the RTO 6613

 

You are going to need to get that rear end ratio down in the low 3s or get taller tires if you’re going to make use of a tranny with a top gear of.8

 

Ok now that you have given us more info. How in the world are you gonna put a DT engine in this chassis. The C3500HD is a pickup/truck chassis for like bucket trucks. A heavy one ton. Now I know guys who put a 12v Cummins in them. But a DT? It's like 7 inches longer than the Cummins. Not saying you can't. I'm genuinely curious.

 

A DT360 is a little shorter than a 6bt

 

Wouldn't a DT 466 and 360 be the same dimensions?

 

I wasn’t a great fan of a 6+1 but did like the fuller 6 speed. Which is the route I would go. I have a f900 with a 6bt and an Allison 4 speed. I’d love to change it to a 6 speed. But even like it sits with 4.10 rears on lp 22.5 rubber it will tote 9 ton of gravel. Albeit slow and the Lucas girling juice brakes are sketch as hell with that weight

 

No. A 360 is only 360 cubes. A 466 is comparable to a c model Cummins

 

I just looked it up. Tried to add my mistake. Seems like the site is having troubles.

3-4 inches shorter. I never measured one. Worked on alot. Anyhow 13-1400lbs. engine for 185hp. Seems like alot of work. I would think the cummins would be the best answer.

 

It’s probably due to finance. Those 360’s can be had a lot cheaper. Both use the p pump, but you’re right the Cummins is capable of much more. The 360 was a good little engine but were never hugely popular and was never a powerhouse
